This book really irritated me.
It sounded good when it was recommended to me by my local library as I like Scandinavian authors but I could not get into it.

It says on the book that it is "another Rebecca Martinsson mystery" but to me it seemed like it is about loads of people but not mainly about Rebecca Martinsson.

I could not get the grip on the changing points of view as well as the constant flashbacks of all of the characters.

What I liked is the fact that it gave an insight in how certain business people lead their lives but all in all I did not enjoy it. Shame.

Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich irritiert.
Es hat gut geklungen als mir von meiner oertlichen Bibliothek empfohlen wurde, da ich skandinavische Autoren sehr gerne mag. Der deutsche Titel lautet "Der schwarze Steg".

Auf der Vorderseite des Buches wird geschrieben, dass es "ein weiteres Rebecca Martinsson Geheimnis" sei aber fuer mich ging es mehr um viele Leute aber nicht hauptsaechlich ueber sie.

Ich konnte weder mit der staendig wechselnden Erzaehlperspektive noch mit den staendigen Rueckschauen der Charaktere klar kommen.

Was mir gefiel, war die Beschreibung wie bestimmte Geschaeftsleute Ihr Leben leben aber alles in allem habe ich diese Buch nicht genossen. Schade.

Tyvärr den sämsta boken i serien. Jag gillar utredarna och människorna runt omkring. Men själva fallet kändes osannolik och extrem och jag tror inte jag gillade en enda av människorna..

questo è il libro che mi è piaciuto meno della serie di libri di åsa larsson. al momento sono al quarto libro, e posso dire che tutti i libri mi hanno preso da subito tranne questo. certo, anche qui la storia è interessante e originale, ma lo ho trovato davvero lento. lo stile di scrittura è molto evoluto (in positivo) dal primo libro, però come dicevo ci sono,talvolta, dei momenti morti. è interessante come cosa (che si ritrova in tantissimi gialli scandinavi che ho letto, soprattutto quelli più vecchiotti di sjöwall e wahlöö): l’inizio e la fine sono le parti più movimentate e interessanti, mentre la parte centrale è caratterizzata da molta lentezza, ricca di introspezioni personali. in ogni caso, descrizioni dei personaggi sempre attente, paesaggi suggestivi e tanti cani :)

Too convoluted for me even though I really liked Rebecka Martinsson.

I hate to say that I did not like this Rebecka Martinsson novel, because I very much liked #1 and #2 in the series. But I did not like it and even contemplated not finishing it. It seemed very jumbled to me. I could not follow the flashbacks all the time and I lost interest in the Ester Kallis story.

A little mysticism, character development for the several main characters, and another good mystery. I am continuing to like this series a great deal.

Me encantan las historias de Åsa Larsson, centradas en un crimen pero que al final llevan a mucho más.

Sin embargo hay algo que he encontrado en común en los tres y es que siento que ella tiene algp contra los perros! En los 3 libros que llevo, siempre tiene que morir uno

El primer libro que leo de una autora Sueca y fue un grato descubrimiento.

La historia cuenta todos los enigmas, historias y corrupción que hay detrás del asesinato de Inna Wattrang, una ejecutiva de una multinacional.

Planeo conseguir los demás libros de la seríe, porque sí, hay más libros y no me di cuenta hasta que empecé a leerlo, y espero solucionar algunas dudas que me dejó el libro al final.
